I've got a 1969 Ford Cortina 1600GT and just recently 1st gear on my transmission blew. It clunks really badly in 1st. All the other gears work fine and I can take off In 2nd but that's just harsh on my clutch. The trans is the 3-rail type, NOT the single gear selector rail.

So I'm looking for a Ford 2000e gearbox either for parts or as a complete transmission. If anyone who has this type of transmission laying around or knows someone who may be able to help me out, please give me a shout.

I'm only 16 years of age, so any info or even alternative transmission recommendations would really help.
